Consumption is the cause of nearly
fifteen per cent. of the whole number of
deaths, or about three in 1000 of the
whole population each year of the world
over. Impure air and bad hygiene are
potent factors in its production. The
disease is most prevalent in temperate
climates, but exists in virulent form in
the tropics. The influence Of altitude is
very marked. There is almost c0mpleettee
immunity from the disease among the
higher Alps, the Andes, the Himalayas
and other extremely elevated regions;
while among the Tennessee and North
Carolina mountains, a case of true pull
monary consumption was seldom, if ever,
known to originate. In seeking new
location immigrants are wise who settle
in non -malarious neighborhoods.

THE COERCION BILL.

Restricting the DeBate-An Amend
ment BY Parnell Defeated.
In the British House of Commons MIR.
Smith moved the resolution previously an
nounced requesting that at 10 p. N. on the
18th inst, the Chairman forthwith put the
question on any motion, amendment or pro.
posal touching the clause of the Crimes bill
then under discussion, then on the clause IT
self, and finally on each remaining clause.
He urged that the step was forced upon the
Government by continued obstruction.
Mr.. Gladstone said that longer notice
should have been given of this important
motion. The present state of business and
the entire paralysis of Parliament had caused
intense dissatisfaction throughout the coun-
try, but the position had been brought about
by the Government themselves. They had
been pursuing the false and evil policy OF
coercion without the justification pleaded on
former occasions.
Mr.. Parnell said be could not understand
the infatuity Of the Government in rushing
blindfold slong q road which they had
already seen would lead to the greatest dis
order in Ireland The Government speakers
had haI'ped on the theme of obstruction" AS
a matter of fact the Irish members had not
lifted one voice against any measure, e1-
eept this Coercion bill, which they were
bound to resist to the utmost. He concluded
by moving an amendment that the House de-
cline to sanction a resolution limiting free.

minorities.
Mr.. ParneIs amendment was rejected by

studio in New York. Since then he has

RIOT AT A PICNIC,
A Sanguinary ARRAY in Which Sew
eral Men Were Shot.

The Anarchists and Socialists of New York
and vicinity gathered in force Sunday at
Oak Cliff Park, Union Township, N. J. The
occasion that called them together was
picnic, given for the benefit of their Chicago
brethren who lately suffered in their collision
with law, and was to aid in securing
new trial for them. The announcement that
Johann Most and his coadjutor, Braun
schweig, were to make addresses swelled the
number attending into the thousands, and
riot and bloodshed were not wanting before
the end Of the day.
All went peacefully at first Admission
had been vigorously denied to all police and
reporters. Finally, however. it became
rumored that something was going on within
the "Park," which demanded the presence of
tbs laws strong arm. This IN Union Town
ship is represented by small constabulary
force. Aman whom the Anarchists took to
be special constable appointed for Sunday
was the man who first aroused the ire of the
revelers-
He attempted to cut through the park as
short route to the ferry. Admission was de-
MED him. Some one drew a revolver and
shots were fired almost Immediately. Then the
crowd which had gathered outside the grounds
took hand in the fray and a general fusillade
followed, in which several Anarchists were
seen to drop, but were hustled away by their
friends. The fight became pretty fierce A
reporter for the Hoboken evening
Ne,0s named Willburger was badly
used up, as he insisted upon wav-
ing O small American flag, and thus
drew upon himself much of the anger of the
Anarchists. Finally the offending man, whose
name was Bernard Winn, laborer in Cur
tenburg, disappeared and the Anarchists re-
tired within their gates with savage threats
The trouble was not over yet, however.
Later in the afternoon ball game was begun
in the adjoining field, and the Anarchists saw
there Winn, the man who had before enraged
them. This time with the thirst for revenge
added to their already hostile feelings, they
managed to get him in their hands. Shots

Judge Walker, the only available magis-
trate, appeared in person, but without effect.
He found Winn in the hands of the mob, who
were administering severe punishment to
him. When the Judge attempted to interfere
he was told he had no business there,
and at signal was surrounded by the Social
lists. In the melee Patrick Tummany, spe
cial officer, was shot in the head, though not
seriously. Many of the crowd were injured
and beaten. Willberger was shot in the
head.
Serious trouble was now expected and re-
